An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Wednesday acquitted Lyariâs alleged gangster Uzair Baloch in three more violence-related cases after the prosecution failed to prove the charges against him.
According to the prosecution, Baloch and his accomplices had rioted and attacked officials of the law enforcement agencies that were conducting a crackdown on criminal gangs in Lyari. The ATC-VIII judge, who conducted the trial inside the Central Jail Karachi, observed that the prosecution could not prove the charges against the accused, so the court had to extend the benefit of the doubt to him.
Baloch, who was the chief of the now-defunct Peoples Aman Committee, is facing over five dozen cases in different courts, and has so far been acquitted in at least eight of the cases for lack of evidence.
